Back to Arizona and the big Cave Creek Biketoberfest deal. I was welcomed with open arms and assigned executive parking next to the Cave Creek Tap Haus dumpster. Cave Creek’s Mark Bradshaw owns a couple of joints about a block apart, The Hideaway Grill and The Tap Haus, and between them is the town dump and a gun store just in case you’re interested.      At The Hideaway,...

     The Tavern was an old mansion that was converted into a bar. They have a bunch of  different rooms, all with comfortable seating, some with pool tables and some with end tables and chairs. The Tavern’s a pretty unusual place.      The action was out on the street in front where as you can see in the photo gallery there was some pretty unusual street bikes parked. Obviously...

     We had never attended ChopperFest, so we went as newbies to see what we will see. In the 48 hours preceding the show, California was attacked by the Pineapple Express, which is wind, torrential rain, and flooding so the event was a crap shoot whether to go or no go. Luckily things worked out just fine weather-wise, so off we went.      The parking lot was filled with boring...

     Barnett Harley-Davidson has worked for years with Hands of Love and Hope Mission in El Paso (a legit 501 registered charity) that feeds up to 10,000 very, very needy people a month. Hey, a hungry kid is a hungry kid as far as Barnett H-D’s general manager, Mark Barnett, is concerned and if we can do anything to help alleviate that problem while possibly winning a helmet...

            I’m not going to kid you   ̶ it’s hard, really hard, doing what I have to do to keep a roof over my head.  But, I suck it up and try to get plenty of photos of pretty ladies for your enjoyment. Sometimes I even run into ladies three abreast which is highly rare. You just never know what you will run into in Vegas.             I hope y’all peruse these tasteful photos of...

           This year’s first place went to Rick Bray of Rkb Kustom Speed with a stunning buffed bobber that for me was one of the most impressive creations I have seen in twelve years of photographing bikes. I usually don’t try to pick a winner myself because there are always so many great builds at these shows. I usually can’t make up my mind, but not so in this case. I told Rick...

       My annual pilgrimage to Florida greeted me with incredible coastal blue skies and moderate temperatures. The weather all four days was perfect with cool mornings and evenings and low 80s during the day. I don’t know about you, but I could live with this kind of weather every day of the year.      This year’s crowd of revelers was about the same number as previous...

            In the last few years custom baggers have dominated the shows and nothing has changed. Although there are several shows exclusively featuring the bagged two-wheelers, the traditional bike shows such as the Boardwalk and Rat’s Hole shows are filled with oversized front wheels and amazing paint adorning what used to be functional touring machines. If you sense a little...
